Ten thousand years ago, the Great Lord of the Demon Realm was defeated by the Celestial Realm. From then on, the Demon Realm submitted to the Celestial Realm and paid tribute once every hundred years. The Great Lord’s son was sent to the Celestial Realm as a hostage and could return to rule the Demon Realm only after his father’s death. Since he possessed both demonic and divine power, he was known as the Demon God.
The five kingdoms of the Mortal Realm had stood divided for nearly a century, beset by unending war. Taking pity on humanity’s suffering, the Celestial Lord ordered the Demon God to descend to the Mortal Realm and save it. But when the Demon God was reincarnated, he was attacked by a phoenix. His divine power vanished, and all six senses were sealed. Demonic beasts from the Demon Realm roamed among mortals, heralding the beginning of chaos in the Mortal Realm.
Gu Buhui was born precocious. She watched her gifted mother, whose only failing was not bearing a son, grow coldly neglected by her father, who was consumed by ambition. Gu Buhui always believed it was her fault. The demon of Pingjing City rose through the ranks of the imperial harem one step at a time by means of a palace coup, only to be abandoned in the depths of the palace after a witchcraft scandal. Then came the coup in Xuandong. She climbed the steps of Feng'an Gate over the blood of the Yuchen royal family, nearly wiped out. Then the ruler of Yuchen, a kingdom famed across the five lands for its refinement, raised an army and destroyed Liuchu. And then she declared that she would destroy this world. Only then did people realize that she truly was a demon!

** Absolutely one-on-one romance. If you like it, please bookmark it and let the chapters pile up. Feel free to drop it at any time if it disappoints.
*** This is a fictional setting, and some plot elements are adapted from history. Please don't be too harsh in your judgment.
**** Everyone in this book is wicked. The heroine is a scheming, unhinged green tea who can't help stirring up trouble, so this is not for readers with a saintly streak.
The plot of this book is okay, but the number of words is a little bit short. You can increase the number of words a little more, come on
